This book provides a real-world, applications-oriented introduction to engineering hydrology with an emphasis on design.
Coverage includes the important hydrologic processes (highlighting watersheds), the effects of land use change (including its detection and modeling), and the ethics and professionalism of a practicing hydrologist.
For professionals in civil engineering, geology, environmental science, forestry, or geography who need a good reference on hydrologic analysis and design.
An introductory text that emphasizes design methods and explains how they can be developed to solve design problems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
